A royal author and commentator agrees with the king's decision not to invite Prince Harry to his birthday parade and called the Duke of Sussex a "viper."
The monarch addressed the nation on the eve of her mother’s funeral to thank the country for their support and the love and honour shown to the 101-year-old.
The Queen said she had been deeply moved by the outpouring of affection and the overwhelming numbers of people paying their respects since the Queen Mother’s death.
The Queen Mother died on March 30 2002 and her funeral took place on April 9 2002 – the last royal funeral to be extensively televised in the UK.
It is not clear whether the Queen will deliver an address to the nation on Friday, the day before the Duke of Edinburgh’s funeral.
